I think it would be a mistake to make all four turtles available again in wave 2. That might make the newer releases incredibly hard to get.

(If they don't start making them available at more stores, then they will be ridulously hard to get as it is)

I would put 2 turtles in wave 2 and the others in wave 3.

That is even worse imho because what happens if Wave 3 gets canceled? Then you have screwed people who don't get the other two turtles. Playmates makes more money if they do a good case ratio because it moves more product. That is why BBTS is offering the entire case for preorder instead of doing single sets right now.

Its also something Playmates would never do, they don't split up Turtles at any time. To them the 4 Turtles are like Superman and Batman or He-Man and Skeletor. They all have to be available at any given time (its why we get 4 variants in Wave 2 of the 4")

The line wouldn't get cancelled while there are plenty of people missing 2 of the turtles. Lines die after the public's thirst for the major characters is quenched -- not before.

The question is: how many were made? How many people are still willing to buy them? If the number is large, then wave 2 could be looked at as really being the first wave of the line -- considering how the real first wave was handled.

This isn't a typical turtle line, best I can tell.. Typical turtle lines probably had a gazillion figures. In this case, you are dealing with a handful of figures.

I found all 4 Ooze tossin' Turtles at Walmart today. I was on the fence about them, but went ahead got them so I wouldn't have to look to complete a set. They come in a case packed with a couple sets of regular Turtles, and at least one of everyone else, except I didn't see any Kraang or April. No new vehicles yet.

I saw the Turtles at a local game.comic shop, just couldn't swing them at the time (would have been $80). But man they looked great. I imagine I will break down and try and get them at some point, I loved TMNT.

The one I am really hoping for is Krang! A good, proper, 80's cartoon Krang. I have the old one up on a shelf (in the old big Andoid body)

I got a case of the TMNT today (the one with the Ooze Turtles), April and Kraang have been phased out. So if you missed them you might want to pick them up at another store if you can find them as they are currently out of production in the newest assortment.

That's funny because Kraang is the only one that I ever see anymore when I go to the store

LOL. I'm overspent on Transformers so I just threw him up on ebay with April and Shredder. I think I am done with the Nick line. This has been disappointing. They put out four turtles with zero articulation and they can't even make their heads the same size???
